~~RULES~~ Read and Sign BEFORE RP

DISCLAIMER: I swear like a sailor OOC. Be forewarned when reading my rules. If they offend you, then clearly you are breaking one or more of them and maybe you and I shouldn't RP. Just sayin.

Since I've been gone for awhile, I'd say it's that time again. I will NOT RP with anyone who hasn't READ and SIGNED these rules before they contact me about a storyline. Believe me, I can tell if you haven't read them.

1. SPELL- AND GRAMMAR-CHECK!!! This is my #1 pet-f***ing-peeve. Hence why it's #1. I DO NOT care how long it takes you to respond, you NEED to check your spelling and grammar when you write. I have to do it all day, every day for a living, and it drives me up a wall when someone cannot take 5 minutes to use the INTERNET or a f***ing dictionary to look up a word. Also, I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS how they do it at Marvel, Inc. My character has one of the thickest accents in the entire Marvel Universe, which is why when she is SPEAKING the words are spelled incorrectly, but my descriptive paragraphs are ALWAYS spelled correctly, unless by some miracle a misspelled word got past me, because hey, it happens. We are all here to have fun, but I will NOT read and then re-read your sh*t 5 times to try to decipher it. I will simply tell you I can't understand it and could you please take a look at it again. If the sh*tty spelling and grammar continues, I will contact you OOC. If you get pissed at me, then: a) you did it wrong, you KNOW you did it wrong, and you are pissed because I called you on it, or b) you're too lazy to check it in the first place, and you are pissed because I called you on it. Either way I DON'T GIVE A F***. *FIX IT* and quit your bitching, or delete me and go find a sh*tty Rogue to RP with who doesn't give a damn about your crappy spelling.

1a. I do not tolerate IM and/or text speak in RP. I am guilty of it in messages sometimes because I type so fast and have a lot to say, but you will NEVER see me doing it in a blog, comment storyline, etc. DON'T DO IT TO ME.

2. I do not roleplay as any specific version of Rogue, I roleplay as the version that I am most familiar with, which is the Rogue that still has all of her powers...and by that I do mean *ALL* of her powers. (Earth 616 version, not Evo, not Movie, just plain ole, good ole fashioned Rogue)

3. Rogue (as I RP her) CANNOT control her skin. This is a fact of life. Deal with it.

4. Do not attempt to touch Rogue unless she initiates the contact, or unless we are involved in a fight SL. This should be pretty self-explanatory. If not, see #3.

5. Rogue does NOT give out her name. Her name is NOT Marie. (I realize that Rogue's name has been revealed as Anna Marie, but I do not play that way, I prefer the mystery....that's just how I like it)

6. Do not assume that Rogue knows who you are. Just like in real life. Unless this has been proven by Marvel Canon or Ret-conned in, forget it. You need to introduce yourself as part of the initial RP. (i.e., Rogue would naturally know Storm, Gambit, or one of her other X-Men teammates from the good ole days, but not necessarily a member of say, the Avengers, or the FF)

7. NO GOD-MODDING!!!! This is a straight-up d*ck move. Don't do it. We're all here to have fun. No one can do that if someone has decided not to take their hits. Even I take my hits, and my character is invulnerable to most things. If I can take my hits, so should you. When in doubt, DON'T BE A DOUCHEBAG. 

8. My RP style is para- and multi-para. As such, I will only RP in messages under EXTREMELY specific conditions. 9 times out of 10, it will not happen, so you should probably not even bother to ask. There are a select few that I will RP with in messages. You know who you are.

10. PICTURES - Many of my pictures were given to me by a VERY dear friend who no longer plays as Rogue. She is one of the best Roleplayers of Rogue that I've ever seen. All of the others I got myself. Having said that, DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T. If I see my pics on anyone else's page, I will call you on it and post a bulletin with the URL on it to show everyone what an a**hole you are. Again, when in doubt, DON'T BE A DOUCHEBAG.

11. If I add you, I send the starter...if you add me, then you need to send the starter. If you add me and a week goes by and I don't here from you, I'm going to delete you.

12. RP and RL are two SEPARATE things. We all have both, so accept that sometimes it may take awhile for me to get back to you. I have a lot of stuff going on IRL (as does everyone else), and sometimes I just can't stay up all night RPing like some lucky folks get to do. 

That's pretty much it.....if you read and sign these rules, I WILL hold you to them. Basically that means that I assume if you signed them, you read them. You break em...and out the door you go, because I absolutely will *not* coddle you because you decided that you wanted to be a slackass RPer.
